Looks like they found an elephant Lady in the wild.

Kiku doesn't look so glad to see her sisters. Also, a certain lady looks like she may need a restroom break...

Or maybe, she's tired to be on patrol?

Furthermore, she is missing her tights.

Check translation on the first note.

My first thought was Shirayuki mistakenly thinking someone had returned from recon when in fact it was the new constructed ships reporting for duty.

This seems unlikely, however, given that Shirayuki herself had only returned to port based on Inazuma's subsequent comment.

Hence the current note.
